THE STORY

Cecelia's is a family owned & operated upscale Italian restaurant conveniently located in the heart of the Elmwood Village of Buffalo. In the year 2000, with the passing of their mother Cecelia, owner Dave Barbara & chef Mike Barbara were inspired to dedicate a restaurant in her name. With the help of their uncle, Cecelia's Ristorante & Martini Bar was born in July 2001 and encompasses the essence of Cecelia's homemade Italian cooking. Cecelia's is uniquely different. Rooted in the warm flavors of contemporary Tuscan, Cecelia's promises food enthusiasts a truly enjoyable dining experience. By infusing our dishes with international flavors to create distinctive tastes, Cecelia’s Ristorante has become a favorite place to dine. The menu features fresh and flavorful dishes including Steak, Seafood, Pasta and Classic Italian Chicken and Veal Specialties. An extensive Wine List and Buffalo's largest, most original Martini List completes any dining experience.
